Another face of Rise. Another reason to get strong. 💪

We asked Denise D., "What are you getting strong for?”

Here’s what she had to say.

Meet the faces of Rise. 💪

We’re asking our members one question:

“What are you getting strong for?”

Here’s Tom M.’s answer.

It’s September, which means it’s time to RALLY! 🙌

This month, we’re rallying around the people who make Rise what it is — our members.

We’ll be sharing their stories, celebrating their progress, and hearing what they’re getting strong for.

First up: Jeff! 💪

Hear what finally made him decide it was time to start — and what he’d tell someone who keeps putting it off.

🎥 Meet Jeff.

Coach Kramer’s second piece of advice for fitness after 40: Motion is lotion.

Think of your body a little like cement—the less you move it, the easier it is to start feeling stuck.

The good news? Movement doesn’t have to mean crushing a huge workout every day.

Walk. Chase your grandkids. Get outside. Do something you enjoy.

The important thing is to keep moving.

As we get older, staying active helps us keep doing the things we want to do—not just inside the gym, but everywhere else too.

Part 2 of Coach Kramer’s advice for staying strong after 40.

Meet Coach Kramer 👋

You’ll be seeing more of him around here as he shares his perspective on training, strength, and what changes as we get older.

So we started with a question:

“If you could go back and give yourself fitness advice before turning 40, what would you say?”

His first answer?

The best way to get in shape is to stay in shape.

You don’t need to train perfectly or go all-out every workout. Staying consistent with strength and movement over the years is what adds up.

Because getting strong is one thing. Staying strong for the life you want to live is the bigger goal.

Part 1 of 2 — stay tuned for Coach Kramer’s second piece of advice.

This is your sign from Coach Megan: you can’t pour from an empty cup.

When life gets busy, taking care of yourself is often the first thing to go. But making time for your health isn’t taking away from the people who need you — it helps you show up for them with more energy, strength and confidence.

You’re allowed to make yourself a priority, too. 💪

Over the past few weeks, we've talked about something many adults experience but rarely talk about: somewhere along the way, they stop feeling like themselves.

Less energy.
Less strength.
Less confidence.

The good news is that those things don't have to define your next chapter.

If you've been following along and thinking, "That's exactly how I feel," maybe it's time to see what's possible.

Getting stronger isn't about turning back the clock.

It's about having the energy to enjoy your family, confidence in your body, and the freedom to do the things you love.

If that's what you're looking for, we'd love to help. Your first step is simply a conversation.

Last week, we shared a little of what Chase and Coach Kramer learned during their time at Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning in Massachusetts.

But the trip reflects something bigger about how we approach coaching at Rise: great coaches never stop learning.

We’re constantly asking questions, learning from people with decades of experience and looking for ways to make our training even better for adults 40+.

Because the goal isn’t to chase every new trend. It’s to keep learning, refining and bringing the best of what we learn back to the people we coach every day.

We shared more about that philosophy on the blog. 👇

Why we brought one of the region's most respected strength coaches to Rise - and why it matters for your health after 40.
